WHAT I WANT TO BECOMEtc "WHAT I WANT TO BECOME"
I want to, if possible, become a river
not to pass through the forests and join the sea
but, to quench the thirst of needy fields which
feed the generations
Or a tree, not to join the hailstorm to devastate
the regions mercilessely
but, to become a shelter to the shelterless,
even in desperate conditions
Or a father, not to annihilate the blossoming
kids and their tender feelings
but, to become an able guide to comfort their
flowering thoughts
Or, at least, to become an ordinary man
not to sway away by the rumours
but, to become a trusted civilian by living as
an example with my sensuous feelings.
